Match Info
Nigeria closed its FIBA Basketball World Cup African Qualifiers window with a tense 75-69 victory over Rwanda on December 1, 2025. The D'Tigers avoided a disastrous winless window by holding off a resilient Rwandan side to end on a positive note. Nigeria, playing for pride and ranking points, finally found enough offensive cohesion to build a lead in the second half. Rwanda fought back to make it a one-possession game late, but Nigeria made its free throws to secure the six-point win. The 75-69 result did little to salvage Nigeria's qualification hopes but provided a much-needed morale boost. The Rwanda coach praised his team's fight, and the Nigeria manager stressed the need for a full rebuild after a disappointing campaign.
